- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper

- 1 stick butter and & 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning melted together to toast on the buns
- Hamburger buns
- Sliced mozzarella or provolone cheese for each patty
- 16 ounce jar marinara sauce warmed up

Instructions
- In a large bowl, add your ground chicken and Italian bread crumbs. If you only have plain, add about a Tablespoon of Italian seasoning to your bread crumbs.
- Add salt and pepper into bowl and mix gently until everything comes together.
- Roll into tennis ball size meatballs. Cover with plastic and place in the refrigerator until you are ready to griddle.
- Heat up the griddle to a medium high temp and put oil down on the griddle to keep the meat from sticking.
- Place a meatball down on the hot griddle and place a small piece of parchment paper on top of the meatball. Smash the burger flat to 1/4". Repeat for all meatballs Add a little salt & pepper if desired.
- Place the marinara sauce in a small pot and place it on the flat top (or heat up in your kitchen). Set aside once it is warm.
- Take the melted butter with Italian seasoning and spread on the inside of the buns and place down onto the griddle until golden brown.
- Flip the patties once they are golden brown. These are going to cook quickly.
- Place a slice of cheese on each patty and add a about a tablespoon on top of the cheese slice.
- Add about a Tablespoon full of parmesan cheese on top of the marinera and let it melt. If it's not melting, add the dome with a little water for steam.
- Once the patty is brown on the bottom, it's time to plate and serve.
- Stack the patties for double patty burgers or serve as singles.
- Place the patties onto the buns.
- If you like the buns saucy and slopping, add more marinara just before serving.
